Actor suited to more dramatic works (9)

I believe the answer is:

tragedian

(Other definitions for tragedian that I've seen before include "Serious actor" , "actor in Macbeth?" , "A great din (anag) - actor" , "Dramatist" , "Egad, I rant about dramatic actor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
